"Could this be expected by Marquis Wen?" Chen Gong was very curious. This news was enough to arouse everyone's emotions. Everyone present was shocked. When he got the news himself, he was also shocked and speechless. Come.
But why, Lu Bu seemed to be calm, as if he had already thought about all this happening.
Lu Bu rubbed his fibrous roots, shook his head slowly and said:
"I didn't expect this to happen, but in a troubled world, if you go smoothly, don't be overjoyed; if you go against it, don't be frightened; if you're safe, don't be extravagant; if you're in danger, don't be frightened; if you have thunder in your chest, your face will be like a flat lake. If you are, you can worship the general!"
Then he looked meaningfully at the generals headed by Gao Shun, and said earnestly: "As a general, you must remember at any time that Mount Tai will collapse in front of you, but your appearance will not change."
"That's what Marquis Wen taught you." The generals all bowed with shame on their faces.
Even Chen Gong couldn't help but lamented that Lu Bu's changes were so rapid, it was really incomprehensible.
Damn it, he did it again.
If I hadn't known about Yunwen's existence, I might have been as shocked as Gao Shun and others by Wen Hou's calmness and calmness.
Chen Deng didn't mind that Lu Bu used Lin Mo's ability to show off, because he also keenly felt that if the Chen family chose to defect to Lu, then Lin Mo's thigh would have to be tightly held.
Building deep friendships while not many people know about it is key.
"Don't just nod, tell us what to do next."
Lu Bu's words brought everyone's attention back to Yuan Shu's desire to proclaim himself emperor. He continued: "If Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, the imperial court will issue an edict asking all the princes in the world to punish thieves. How should we deal with ourselves then? How can we deal with it? Ever thought about it?"
"Of course I'm following the imperial edict to fight against thieves!"
Chen Gong raised his head and said: "Cao Cao will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing, and Marquis Wen should also follow suit. First, if Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor and Marquis Wen sends troops to attack, it will help the Han to eliminate thieves and win the hearts of scholars all over the world;
Secondly, there is no need to worry about Cao Cao or Yuan Shao attacking Xuzhou, because if Xuzhou loses, it means that they are rebelling. "
This is the poetic way of a scholar taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
"I second the motion."
"I also second my opinion."
Chen Deng and Lu Su bowed one after another.
Lu Bu himself had the same idea. After reaching an agreement, he nodded and asked, "The key question is, how to fight?"
This question left Chen Gong, Chen Deng and Lu Su speechless.
Yuan Shu's claim of 230,000 Huainan troops was not just a boast. Lu Bu only had more than 30,000 troops. It would definitely not be possible to fight head-on.
Follow Cao Cao?
Most of the time, people are being used as targets. When eating meat, they may not get a share, and when they are beaten, they will not miss a blow.
"I estimate that Cao Cao will use all his strength to conquer Yuan Shu regardless of whether anyone is ordered to punish the thief. Therefore, I think that Marquis Wen can obey the order, but he does not have to go deep into Huainan. He only needs to lead troops to conquer Guangling." Lu Su suggested. .
Guangling was originally one of the six counties of Xuzhou, but now it is in the hands of Yuan Shu.
Let Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fight in Huainan and take back Guangling. This is a mature and prudent method.
By taking back Guangling, he would have eliminated the hidden danger of a fire in his backyard. Moreover, Guangling was a large county with higher taxes, acres of land, and fishing profits than Xiapi.
Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong and Chen Deng, and saw that they both nodded in agreement, so he said nothing more.
If Yuan Shu becomes emperor and changes to Guangling County, the deal will not be a loss.
"If I want to go to Huainan in person, can you guys help me defeat Yuan?"
Lu Bu's question made everyone present stunned.
How is this possible? Don’t you have a count of how many soldiers, horses, and grain you have?
There are more than 30,000 people, even if they are all pledged, they may not get much benefit.
Moreover, more than 30,000 people set off to Huainan, and it would only take two or three months to use up all Xuzhou's grain reserves.
The most important thing is, what do you want?
With Cao Cao here, you can't stand even if you conquer Yuan Shu's territory.
Lu Bu looked around and read the answer from their faces. Four words, there was nothing he could do. He raised the corners of his mouth and shook his head.
"Could it be that Marquis Wen wants to confront Yuan Shu head-on and has a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Chen Gong asked an idea that he couldn't even believe.
He even began to suspect that there was some master behind it. It might be Lu Bu himself who suddenly became enlightened.
"There are only four words to defeat the enemy." Yun Danfengqing's words aroused everyone's appetite. They all looked up at Lu Bu on the throne, hoping to hear the strategy that would make them enlightened.
Lu Bu slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the council hall step by step.
Every step seemed to attract everyone's attention with inexplicable power.
After reaching the door, he stopped. The warm sunshine of early winter stretched his back tall, just like in the past, everyone thought that Marquis Wen on the battlefield was invincible.
"Four words..."
Lu Bu took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said in a deep voice: "The law of heaven suppresses us!"
"Tiandao suppresses..." Everyone looked at each other, confused and confused.
"The time has not come yet. All you need to do is be prepared. I will tell you when it's time for you to know."
You guys, wait a minute. I'm going to ask my son-in-law what he means by "Tiandao suppression" and then I'll tell you.
After Lu Bu pretended to be cool, he ran away, leaving everyone in the council hall looking suspicious.
"Marquis Wen is getting more and more unfathomable. We are beyond our reach." Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh.
"Boping, Marquis Wen is not a singer in a brothel. I'm afraid this comparison is inappropriate." Zhang Liao patted him on the shoulder.
"Go away! Who am I, Gao Boping, who never goes to a brothel!" Zhang Liao, the old driver, likes to tease Gao Shun with bad jokes in this regard.
The non-drinking general had always scorned this.
But the more disgusted he became, the more excited Zhang Liao became.
Everyone retreated amidst laughter. On the way back, Chen Deng was deeply preoccupied and said nothing.
Lu Su, who was traveling with him, glanced at him and said with a smile: "Tiandao's suppression is too difficult to understand. I can't figure it out, but this must be Yunwen's idea."
"Of course, I have never doubted this." Lin Mo could even deduce that Yuan Shu became emperor, so there is nothing strange about suppressing it with the way of heaven.
"Then what are you thinking about?"
Chen Deng stopped, turned around and looked around to make sure no one was around before lowering his voice and said, "Don't you think Yunwen's talent is too shocking?"
"So what, he's not our enemy." Lu Su said puzzled.
Chen Deng let out a long sigh, "Zijing, you and I have been friends for many years, and there are some things we can discuss in private."
"Yuan Long might as well say it directly if he has something to say."
"Although our two families have already expressed their support for Marquis Wen, they have just stepped in and the actual help they have given is not too great."
Chen Deng smiled bitterly and said: "At least we are insignificant compared to Chen Gong who has spent all his wealth to help."
"Do you think that with Yunwen here, Marquis Wen's great achievements will be achieved, and do you want to get on Marquis Wen's ship as soon as possible?"
Lu Su twirled his fingers and frowned: "You have to think clearly, once they are really tied together, there will be no way out."
“It’s easy to add icing on the cake, but it’s difficult to provide help when it’s time.”
Chen Deng has been thinking about these ten words.
Lu Su did not express his position immediately, and was chewing on his words in his heart.
The two of them just walked along in a dull manner.
Approaching the parting intersection, Lu Su finally spoke.
"Let's look at Yunwen's skills in this battle. If it is true as Marquis Wen said, with these 30,000 troops, Yuan Shu can be defeated head-on, then our Lu family is willing to choose Marquis Wen."
"good."
